Most Expensive Thing I Own

[Brian Ski]

Accessory's are a huge part of anything you get involved in.

I agree with that. I bet I have more in firearm accessories than most people have in firearms. I guess it is an addiction.

That doesn't even include about 1/2 million in equipment and materials I've collected over the last 35 years. Yeah, most of the vehicles aren't so much of a deal, but I spoilt myself with a 10 GT Mustang and a 10 Fatboy Harley, and the spousal unit with a 08 Cad. We just need a bigger house now


Yes, it's blue and purple simultaneously

Nice color. I painted my street dune buggy that color years ago. Need to take it out for a spin this year. To busy to cruise last year. I need to keep the wheels turning on it. Sure don't see that many dune buggies around anymore.

My carry gun. M&P Shield 9 with Apex trigger kit & Ameriglo night sights. $880 invested in it without counting ammo.

Daaaaaaamn!!! That's an expensive shield!!!

 

[RobbyMaQ]

reading through I just remembered my wife's engagement/wedding ring. Yeah... that beats our 6.5k mower easily. Although, I guess that's the most expensive thing SHE owns.

Not counting the house or modes of transportation (all of which we truly own), does hubby's 67 chevy truck count? It is a toy more than transportation since we don't drive it unless the roads are dry and the sun is shining. After that, I would say his tools would be next in line. My booze collection might be up there in $$$ at this point since much of it is aging nicely in the cabinet and I consider it an investment.

Daaaaaaamn!!! That's an expensive shield!!!

+5 8rd mags, 3 holsters, Talon Grip, etc... ok, so not specifically just that one item, but everything that is for it is only for it and nothing else so I count it as part of it

 

[cziemer]

Tools, for sure, unless of course we count the boat or motorcycle...

Chance favors the prepared mind.

It sure does, in 7th grade I took a $1250 dollar loan from my dad to start a business. By my freshmen year of college I grew it to a net-worth just over $50k by busting my butt every minute I wasn't in school or studying for school. I sold the business after my freshmen year of college and started investing; even though the majority of my investments were made before the big crash, it has still done pretty good.

If your booze collection is the most expensive thing you own, you need to do more drinking.

It is better with age and we are definitely working our way through it. I figure it is great bartering material if the SHTF ever really happens.

My liver couldn't handle it if I drank everything I have stashed here.

The lady at the liquor store loves me when I come in and buy Everclear and Vodka by the case during fruit season.

My farm, and my perimeter patrol vehicle . . .. . .

Probably my hot tub!!

Don't owe anyone on anything, except a credit line on the house, but I can pay that off at my leisure. Five vehicles free and clear, wood shop to make Bob Vila pee his pants, metal shop from hell, I'm talkin Pexto, Diacro, what the hell ever, killer electronics lab, HP/Agilent, Tektronix, Phillips, prime stuff, Chem lab with much 24/40 glass and well stocked with chemicals, light gunsmithing and heavy reloading facilities, Lee and Dillon. I'm pretty well set up. Just wish I had some freeze dried food. Wait, I do. I do have a couple of collectibles, though, like the Heidi Saha book (there were fewer than 500 that made it into the wild, and most are probably gone) (oh, and there's nothing kinky in it), and some stuff that goes in the good safe that I won't talk about.

Since I had no idea who Heidi Saha is/was I just had to Google it. Learned she is/was the daughter of some sci-fi nut job who used his pubescent daughter to fulfill his quest for acknowledgement by nerds and other sci-fi nut jobs in the 1960's. Not sure if a book full of photos of a barely teenage girl should be considered art or pornography. I'll leave that to the courts, scholars, and clergy to decide.

Does it qualify as a "collectible" - probably same category as the first issue of Playboy. I did expand my knowledge. Amazing what I don't know. ! ! !

It's collectible mostly due to rarity. As I said, there were fewer than 500 that escaped into the wild before they stopped selling them and destroyed the remainder, and I'd be genuinely surprised if more than half of those still exist. You know, the mom throwing out the comic books thing. There's nothing at all prurient in it, just the kind of pictures you'd see in a family album, with some severely corny comments. I've considered scanning it and putting up a site with the images. Yeah, her parents used her for some notoriety at the cons, but her mother made excellent costumes, like Vampirella and Sheena, and she legitimately won the contests, even as an early teen. She was familiar to Jim Warren and Forest Ackerman, who were both pretty perverted and I'm pretty sure homosexual. Not that I'm objecting to that, but at the time it was a complication. She wound up severely disturbed after all that, and that saddens me, but the book is what it is. I don't think I'd take less than $1000 for it, but I bet I could do a lot better.

Hopefully part of my MM collection.
A 1940 Gibson arch-top fhole guitar.
Then my $1394 M-1A and my $1K dentures.

 

[bluewraith]

I have a 40 watt CO2 laser cutter/engraver that should be here in about a week. Does that count?

I bet if we asked your wife she would say the ring is the Second most expensive item and YOU are her Most expensive possession.
